SweetPro – SweetPro16

SweetPro16 is designed for cattle or bison 650 to 1,000 lbs., first calf heifers, stockers on grass, purebred operations, dairy cows and goats with good quality forage. The SweetPro provides these animals essential vitamins A, D & E, plus protein, calcium, phosphorus and trace elements including selenium in a NON-MOLASSES formula. NPN is NOT urea. The SweetPro16 is an important part of the SweetPro “stage of growth” series.

This unique, patented formula consists of fermented grains (barley malt, oats, wheat and flax), yeast, live enzymes, and probiotics and prebiotics to improve animal health, milk production and weight gain.

Note: The horn fly control ALTOSID® IGR may be added to any of the SweetPro tubs. This may provide effective fly control for 3 ½ to 4 cents per head/day. During horn fly season, without fly control, daily average gain may be reduced by 0.25 lbs. per hd/day. But an Altosid IGR (Insect Growth Regulator) feed-thru fly control investment of $4.50 to $5.50 per cow/calf pair for a summer feeding season will yield returns from 6:1 to 10:1.

Science:
All our SweetPro products break from the tradition of molasses blocks, and provide your livestock with healthier supplements that help their digestive systems perform at their natural best.

The benefits from our blends of ingredients and advanced processes, supports animals that grow stronger, faster and avoid many of the health problems with which cattle, horse, sheep and goat owners traditionally have struggled.

Benefits:
1. SweetPro blocks use Condensed Distillers Solubles with much higher protein and nearly 10 times the fat as molasses, plus enhanced aroma and palatability.

2. Energy in SweetPro blocks comes from complex carbohydrates instead of the simple sugars of molasses. This supports resistance to digestive disruption from sugar and starch (No Negative Associative Effect) digestion on the microbial populations which digest fiber in the rumen, keeping rumen pH high for health support.

In SweetPro blocks, there’s virtually no starch or sugar and minimal NSC (non-structural carbohydrate). Instead, the focus is on complex (structural) carbohydrate and high by-pass protein value in the distiller’s grain carrier. We then emphasize a top quality vitamin and mineral package with complex organic trace minerals to maximize bioavailability. Your cattle not only get the extra benefit of the supplement’s ingredients, but they also get up to 25% more out of the rest of their feed.

4. The safe, protein sources of SweetPro blocks include high rumen by pass ingredients to give calves, cows, bulls and goats an extra boost. No Urea in any of the SweetPro products.

How to Feed:
Daily intake will vary depending on forage quality and nutritional needs. Expected range of consumption is .75 to1.25lbs per animal per day.

There may an initial adaption period whereby animals will fill in their nutritional gaps, but should level out after one or two tubs. If consumption exceeds 1.25 lbs. per day per head step up to the Fibermate18. If consumption is not high enough step down to the Kaf (Cattle) Kandi. Consumption levels vary depending on the time of year, age of animal, weight and body condition of the animal and forage conditions.

One tub per 25 head of bison. Place away from water source. Tubs can be space fed. Place the appropriate number of tubs with the desired group of bison assuming a consumption rate of 1-1.5 lbs. of product per day. For example, if the tubs are expected to last 7 days, then don’t place new tubs in pasture or feeding area until this day has been reached. The product will stay in the animal’s system for multiple days even after the feed is gone.

CAUTION: Contains 600 ppm copper • DO NOT FEED TO SHEEP • Do not use in association with another feed containing supplemental selenium.

Bison Friendly Base: Bison prefer to maintain steady eye contact with their surroundings and will not put their heads too far down into feed containers. SweetPro’s patented base is ideal for the feeding instincts of bison. Its low profile design and biodegradable cardboard sides allow bison to eat it completely to the bottom, without hesitation or leftover product.

Molasses lick block containers need higher sides to retain their melted product during summer heat. So bison only eat the upper part of those blocks. SweetPro’s all-season solid supplement blocks won’t melt in summer or freeze in winter. They’re perfect for bison.
